Residential & Municipal Structure

Garrett Park is a historic, residential enclave in Montgomery County with strict architectural preservation standards and strong environmental oversight. The town commissioned the removal of a deteriorating structure that had become a safety concern but required the work to be completed with minimal impact on surrounding properties and town infrastructure.

REMAC was selected for its reputation for clean, surgical demolition and environmental compliance in suburban and residential settings.

1. Residential structure demolition

2. Lead paint removal and abatement

3. Tree and landscape protection

The structure sat on a narrow lot surrounded by mature trees and neighboring homes with limited access.

REMAC used smaller equipment, operated within limited hours to respect noise ordinances, and coordinated with town officials and neighbors to minimize disruption.

REMAC completed the project on time, without incident, and with full satisfaction from the Town Council and adjacent property owners. The work demonstrated REMAC’s ability to adapt its demolition and abatement methods to small-scale, community-sensitive projects.
